Projects submitted do not need to be commercially successful or actively maintained to be qualified for consideration.
How It Works
The process is straightforward:
- Submit your repository for an initial assessment of its potential licensing value.
- Receive an evaluation based on the codebase and applicable acceptance criteria.
- Explore licensing opportunities if your repository qualifies.
- Get compensated according to the agreed licensing terms if a transaction is completed.
The evaluation and licensing process is structured to assist code owners in understanding the potential value of their repositories without the need to engage in a traditional development arrangement.
Compensation
For standard non-exclusive licensing, current reference rates are as follows:
- $100 per 1M source-code tokens
- $40 per 1M Git-history tokens
Each repository is assessed individually, and you will have the opportunity to review the estimated value before making a decision to proceed.
Requirements
To qualify for submission, you should meet the following criteria:
- Possess software development experience or ownership of an existing software product, application, or repository.
- Have full ownership or legal rights to license the submitted source code.
- Maintain access to original code repositories, including discontinued products, abandoned projects, internal tools, or independently developed software.
- Ensure that the code does not include any third-party material that you do not have permission to sublicense.
